  • George: It was Monday, 9:43 A.M. The Cubs had just won a pair from the Dodgers, the Rams had lost at Orange County, and...I got some new socks from Banana Republic. But something was missing. My partner, Kate Monday, who works the daywatch out of Mathnet was laid up with a bad knee. She torn some ligaments in it and her leg was in a cast. She was at home recuperating. My name is Frankly. I’m a mathematician. A lonely mathematician.
